1. What Are Cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the website remember your preferences and understand how you interact with its content.

3. Cookies We Do NOT Use
- Advertising cookies — We do not run ads and do not track you for advertising.
- Third-party analytics — No Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any third-party tracking on hiyakw.com.
- Social media tracking — No embedded social widgets that track your browsing.
- Cross-site tracking — No cookie data shared with any third party.
4. Third-Party Cookies
The only third-party cookies on hiyakw.com are set by Cloudflare (our hosting and security provider). These are strictly necessary for security and performance — they do not track behavior across other websites and cannot identify you personally.
5. Managing Cookies
You can control cookies through your browser settings:
- Chrome: Settings → Privacy and Security → Cookies
- Safari: Preferences → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Firefox: Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies
- Edge: Settings → Cookies and Site Permissions
Blocking essential cookies (Cloudflare) may prevent you from accessing hiyakw.com.
6. Mobile App Storage
The Hiya mobile app uses AsyncStorage (secure on-device storage) rather than cookies. Only your user ID is stored on-device for authentication. Health data is stored in our cloud database. HealthKit data remains entirely within Apple's ecosystem on your device.
7. Changes to This Policy
If we introduce new cookies or change usage, we will update this policy and display a notification. Material changes introducing tracking or analytics will require your consent.
